another one bites the dust...

After a busy morning packing hunter catapults ready to post to customers world wide i hoped onto my push bike and started off on the 8 mile round trip to the post office,en-route i spotted the covey on some ploughed land that was once an old airbase during the war,i propped the bike against a post and got the catapult put,the covey was at 20 yards and i was sure they would take to flight as they do once in decent range,gingerly i loaded the pouch,pulled back the bands and loosed,thwack ,flap,shudder! and that was it one french partridge bagged! the rest of the covey flew off low and settled some 70 yards off in the middle of the field.
I continued my trip posting my parcels and then cycled back,wind in my face all the way and boy was it cold too,i recon the fire will get lit early tonight!

Hey fish, thats one fine looking bird! I have been looking at your catty's and i am very interested in buying one, although i am unsure about whether i would be able to hit a barn door let alone a bird or rabbit with one, any info would be appreciated, cheers.

hey rob make the most of the offer to forum members,pm me if intrested.
Dont worry about the accuracy ,that will come with practice,and that is the key,plenty of practice,keep to the same set up and use the same shot too,i recon most folk witth a catty could hunt reasonably well with in 500 shots ,ive met chaps that could hit a bean tin at 15 yards within just a few shots. if you want more info on hunting with a catty theres a good section on www.jacksshed.co.uk you will have to join to see the hunting section ,i had to make it that way due to the tree huggers!lol

well here in australia every winged animal just got 6 inches closer to my belly! that sounds like a tried and tested recipe. Have to add a few toppies to my feed list and let you know how it goes! Have you any methods for taking the oily texture out of rats for the table? Only done it once and it was a bit much for me!
